[Alert] Scam attempt in the name of gambling house and moderator

[MCobian]

Actually there are many stories about scams, and thank you for giving information about bitxplay. Of all the scams stories,
have in common that scammers direct us to make a deposit or make payments before the promised rewards was given. So
be careful if there are offers like that, sometimes fraudsters are not always unknown people. If about money is sometimes
a scammers it from people we already know. And be careful to use new gambling websites, because there are so many now
gambling websites that scams. Always investigate before using gambling websites, or select popular gambling websites and
old gambling websites if you want to be safe.

I just learn from your incident that we must need to prepare ourselves just to face anything without losing control on our emotions always. Because we cannot pre-assume what is going to be targeted and how scammers will attempt on us to deceive so that they will start listening to them. Yes, when we are aware of something then we can assume how things will go otherwise, we may go and then will get trapped at the end of the day.

In this particular incident, if the minimum was not $100, then I guess you might have gone to try for it. Because (I am just talking from my point of view), if the minimum was under through out level like one or two dollars, then most people will give it a try on more than 50% of occasions.

I do still doubt on this one because no one will throw out even $1-2 if they do know that this is something an obvious scam attempt.It might be a small amount but majority will not really tolerate on feeding up scammers.Who the hell would be the one will give out big win to a player even hes a moderator if he can do it by himself? With some logic and some common sense you can spot it directly that someone is just
trying to deceive you so that you would make a $100 deposit. Instead of trying to milk out the house, then you would be the one who would really be milked out.

Hello everyone, I just came across a new gambling website which was sent to me via a unknown user on telegram.

Website: https://bitxplay.com/ (PLEASE DO NOT VISIT NOR GIVE ANY OF YOUR DETAILS).

What happened: I was sent a message by an unknown user on telegram that reads "I can make you winner in a gambling house where I work a moderator. If you are interested register and give me your username". "This is an anonymous site and a random player wins, but I work as a moderator and therefore you will win" and "pay me half of your winning money to continue" and I checked their website to find some interesting facts.

Fun facts that made be assured that this is a scam and a well-designed one!

That is why I'd never entertained new messages which I'd never expect have something to receive especially when it is coming from an unknown person and offers such a scamming trick, I'd rather have to block it ASAP.

BTW, thanks for this warning.
Yeah, it looks tempting and attractive offer but that is out from reality. Scammers are getting smart by now, they always find a way just to pursue their obvious scamming trick but they are hopeless to see that they can't hide their intention anymore since most of us are aware of this.

You should also enclose that website in "[c o d e] [/ c o d e]' so that no one will accidentally click on the link.

And just by looking at it's domain name:

https://whois.domaintools.com/bitxplay.com

I agree with you, and [nobbc][/nobbc] tag is even more convenient to use for that.
But more importantly, OP should post some screenshots of the website to allow people to see how it looks like, because these kind of scams regularly change their domain names AFAIK.

   They change the name, but the scam stays the same. I agree with you on that Saint-loup, and OP should add that tag you
suggested, for more visibility.
   I regularly receive scam PM's on Telegram and on Twitter. All kind of propositions, and all of them ask for some starting
investment and promise big returns. I don't know do they attract anyone with this kind of scams?

In order to verify the gambling site, there's no moderator that will PM you of anything about the site. Moderators are used to help gamblers whenever they face a problem such as in depositing, withdrawing and issues concerning their game. But with the action made by the "moderator" of that gambling site, you can already assure that the reputation of the site isn't good.

Plus, anything concerned about depositing funds in order to withdraw an amount of winning which look like easy money should already be considered as a scam precaution for us not to engage further.

Hello everyone, I just came across a new gambling website which was sent to me via a unknown user on telegram.

The word here is "TELEGRAM".
I'm enough of the nonsense of telegram already. Scammers are everywhere there and you don't know which can be trusted there or not. I'm not even opening my telegram app already because of the scammers there. Just the word alone makes me go away.

I also have received some random messages coming from random strangers and I don't have the time to entertain them or even read their post. As I open their message, I immediately block the user if I don't know them. Entertaining them will lead to nothing.

For most people these kind of scamming attempts are obvious which is automatically ignored but the question about on why there are still people who got fooled?

Its simple! When greed do comes in then people do make dumb decisions no matter how obvious it is they would just ignore and proceed.

When in talks on making easy money then its part of human nature to be greedy,some can control but there are some who cant.

I think you should rather post or move this on scam accusation than here in gambling. Though it is indeed related to gambling, there is a specific board for scam even if it was just a fail attempt.

I really aren't that active in telegram and I know what channel and whom to trust only. If that occurred to your account, there is a huge chance that your phone number was leaked hence the sender had a way to contact you. Such activities are too good to be true, hence blocking and reporting the user would be a huge help to the telegram and its community (especially gambling community). Though it was new, it is too suspicious that they made a contact via telegram and not here in the forum..

Never trust random messages in telegram, and it seems that scammers are getting more and more creative nowadays. Stick to the rule of thumb that if it is too good to be true, never trust it.

A few months back, I also received almost the same message but this time they used a trading platform. The scenarios are the IP where the scammer is currently blocked in the platform since he said he is on a business trip and would gladly share half of what is on his account on the platform. So, he asked me to create an account and made a fake transfer of 25 ETH, so I ride along and checked the hash and the address if a real deposit was made, and found zero balance. The platform required me to deposit a minimum of 100$ to unfreeze the account which is a red flag.

Never ever trust unsolicited e-mails and messages.

Website: https://bitxplay.com/ (PLEASE DO NOT VISIT NOR GIVE ANY OF YOUR DETAILS).

I have the same experience ween ago from this Guy in telegram but upon reading His message i automatically realized that this is another scam and nothing to give anything reliable but shit.

I have reported from the telegram and Blocked it right away without sending even a single word because some of my friends was one a victim of fake messaging in telegram.

You should also enclose that website in "[c o d e] [/ c o d e]' so that no one will accidentally click on the link.

Never ever trust unsolicited e-mails and messages.

The problem is very simple: these attacks still work, a large number of people still fall for them. You can see this quite clearly in the various Twitter "swaps" where you are supposed to get back ten times the amount you transferred yourself. The addresses posted there show a lot of transactions of unsuspecting users who fell for the attack.
The attacks are also relatively simple. You only need to write to a correspondingly large number of users, even if only 0.1% of the users write back and make a deposit, it is always worth it.

Coinbase has written a very good article on Medium last year, where the different scam attacks are listed and also possibilities are shown how to protect yourself against them. Here would be the article if anyone is interested: Anatomy of a Telegram Scam

[nakamura12]

I just want to alter you all for not listening to any stranger on the internet. I am familiar with this basic thump rule.

And since this happened on telegram, i would argue that anyone contacting you via pm in telegram and you never chatted before in some main channel is most likely trying to scam you and you can just block and report them at the moment they start their pm.

That is exactly correct. Many scammers use telegram to find a victim to scam his/her money. There are several telegram users who contacted me but I never follow their chat but instead I only replied once and never replied again. You could also block the sender which will help you stay away from that scammer.

[Renampun]

It seems like it's not just me who is the victim of a fraud attempt by a fake gambling site moderator...
In telegrams, there are many fraudsters like this who offer services to make rich quick, not only claiming to be from a gambling site but also claiming to be admin of an exchange, mining and another. we must be careful because con artists like them try to seduce us with the promise of a big fortune, don't be greedy people.

[Danslip]

The rebranded casino came back with the same games and the same social engineering methods. It is sad to see some people still fall to this trap and there is another way to prevent the scammers except sharing the knowledge and education. The greed can cost more than the target balance the victim aims for...

No matter how many times we do said such advice but there are really people who do neglect of those kind of basic stuff or rules when it comes to possible scam scenarios.

None of this world would really offer out big returns or money with just giving out some few dollars and if you are that a sensible and even just talking with common sense

then you can eventually spot out that somethings fishy is happening.When it comes to telegram and any messaging platforms, if someone message me randomly about offers
or other stuff then thats already put up in ignore.

They can always find gullible users by sending those attractive offers and rewards.
Some will try for themselves for the hope that they will get good returns.
But unfortunately, it is a trap and they will get nothing in return.
Unsolicited emails and messages should automatically be put into trash.

number 1 rule everyone should follow why would anyone do this and is there anything in this world legit were you can 26x your money minutes

The reason is because day by day users who are being desperate of getting instant money is increasing. They can be an easy target for scammers because scammers know that they are after an easy money. They just have to create a new way of attractive strategy then they can have now new victims. Even those who are being warned with this kind of scam can easily become a victim if they will be blinded by an easy money trick.
